I can only speak from my experience, I go to meetings (AA & CA) and there are so many people under 30 who go. Friday & Saturday nights especially! BTW, my younger friends go out afterwards with each other. You can go out to places where drinking isn't the #1 activity.
When we attend these meetings...we ARE those oldies (51, 55). If you open up to the things (addiction, game playing with IT, the desire to stop) that we all share, you'll discover that we " are not a glum lot". That means we laugh at meetings too. BTW, it took me a couple of decades before I had ENOUGH. I was absolutely ready to quit. I'm loving each day sober and alive. Go for it!!!
